I need my great grandfathers birth certificate, however I do not know to much about him. He was born Giuseppe Marciano probably in 1887, he died on Sep 21,1961 in NYC and was naturalized on nov 12 1926 in Schenectady at 39 years old. Where should I start my search for this date?

WOW you are good it sound just like him. I see you have March 4 and 5th for his date of birth. Is there some reason for the 2 dates? Nobody in my family was ever sure of his real birth date. I would also need my great grandmothers area of birth. She was born in Sicily on Nov 11 1895 name Josephine Farone (madien name). Thanks for all your help I think I should be able to get his birth certificate now.

Hello,
if you need his birth certificate, like for citizenship application, you can make a request written only in italian to send to

If the 1910 census I posted is correct, Giuseppina was in the US prior to 1913. There's the chance that father Charles emigrated first and children followed later with their mother. If that's the case, they might be listed under the mother's maiden name. Since Giuseppina had a sister Rosa/Rose born in Italy on the 1910 census, both she and her sister should be on the same manifest travelling with father and/or mother.

I found a tree on ancestry (unsourced and with obvious errors) that gives mother Anna's surname as Bologna but based on the errors I found on the tree, I'm not giving it much credence. There was also another tree which shows Anna's surname as Brogna.

Biff

My mother had told me that she had found my great grandmothers name at ellis island engraved on the wall or stone, but when I searched for it on there web page she was not there. She did come over in 1897 and was born in 1895. Her mothers name was Anna. And my family always knew that my great grandfather was around 10 years older or so then Josephine but werent sure until I found out his actual birthdate. I'll try to find out more info from my mother. Thanks for everyones help

That would be great, if you can scan and post it that would be the best. If you can't do that copy all the info down, spouses name, children, birthdate, year of nat. etc. That would really help us out.
